Tupolev Tu-95MS strategic bombers made scheduled flights in the Far East, the Defense Ministry said.

"In the long-range aircraft regiment in Amur region, Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers made planned flights," it said.

The pilots trained flying in daytime and at night. Engineers and technicians prepared the bombers for sorties in a harsh continental climate in high atmospheric pressure and air humidity.

Both experienced and young pilots who graduated from air schools in 2022 were engaged in the flights, the ministry said.
